The debate supports treating this as a validation program before ranking it as a therapy. Perturbation should move a proximal molecular phenotype, then a disease-relevant phenotype, in that order.
VEGF-family genetic control of vascular-neuronal coupling in vulnerable hippocampal regions should produce a measurable proximal phenotype before late disease pathology. The decisive test is spatial transcriptomics plus vascular imaging ordered against amyloid and tau burden across hippocampal subfields.
